Busy week - last nights A400 was a superb arrival viewed from the pub.
Both Merlins are hangared and believed to be going somewhere on a C17 next week...

Nice to see the return of the weekly logs Mike.

I’m led to believe the airfield will be open over the next couple of weekends to accommodate the temporary BZN fleet movements.

In Coleby, top of the hill, nice views of the approach, not bad as a pub, either..

Ahhh - thanks.

Bit too far to walk after a few shandy's on a dark night....
